A slightly recessed point of land containing a beautiful village of ice, bordered by thick walls of trees decorated festively by a young Pengy who lives there. It's said to have the most beautiful sunrise on the planet.
The Dark Father has been sending Gargoyles here for some reason, every Sunday at 7PM for some reason.
KAYOUKI'S HOUSE
A lovely house in the northernmost region of the small town, two stories high and carved of magical ice that is perfectly transparant when it needs to be. Kayouki the Pengy lives here, as do Guardian, a robotic sentinal, and Snowy, a white wolfos pet of hers. There's a garden out back full of icey type veggies that they all work on in their spare time. Kayouki would be more than happy to let you sleep in one of her spare rooms ^^

FROSTY CHOMP CAFE
A popular cafe that serves delicious dishs like Iced Ice and Snow Tea. It's name comes from the fat, lazy Ice Chomp that sleeps inside next to the heat lamp. Despite his position, he constantly has a fine coating of snow on him. Anything ordered here must be eaten here.

:Hot Lemonade: Surprisingly tasty pink lemonade that is piping hot. Immunity to Cold type attacks for next battle. 30 Coins

Winecicle: This wine is frozen... Still, good year! Spend next battle in Berzerk. 10 Coins

Iced Ice: Chilly as hell cake dipped in a layer of icing, frozen, dipped again, frozen, and dipped once more and again frozen.

Any Time:
Ice Water: More ice than water. Free. No visible effect.
Cold Cold Labs
A very calm, quiet labs possessed of the tranquility of ice as it sits. It's a perfect place to preform tasks that require peace.

Equipped For: Compounding, Crafting, Writing, and Spellcraft.
